QuickMedical® a leading national distributor of medical equipment and medical supplies now introduces a diabetes supply program accepting Medicare and most insurance plans for the line of AgaMatrix WaveSense glucose meters and Prodigy glucose meters and syringes. QuickMedical® distributes close to 25,000 medical supply products nationally providing diabetes patients with a wide selection of medical supplies.
Medicare Part B covers diabetes supplies including blood sugar (glucose) test strips, blood sugar testing monitors, lancet devices and lancets, and glucose control solutions for checking test strip and monitor accuracy. Medicare covers these supplies even if diabetes patients use insulin. In 2011, patients will pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount for these diabetes supplies. Medicare part D may cover insulin and certain types of medical supplies used to inject insulin, such as syringes, gauze, and alcohol swabs. QuickMedical® plans to expand their diabetes supply program product offering into the durable medical equipment arena in the future.
QuickMedical® provides diabetic patients with specific advantages other mail order suppliers and their retail counterparts do not. QuickMedical®’s Diabetes Supply Program offers same day shipping on most diabetes supplies, a product offering reaching 25,000 medical supplies, a friendly staff to help diabetes patients with any questions, and a low price guarantee on diabetes medical supplies. “We give a variety of advantages and benefits to our customers that many other diabetes supply companies do not provide,” states the CEO of QuickMedical®, Scott Hana.
Medicare and third party insurance plans cover a variety of diabetes supplies; although there may be limits on how much or how often you get these supplies. All individuals with diabetes who have Medicare are eligible for diabetes supply programs providing diabetes glucose meters, test strips, and lancets. Diabetic patients will pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after the yearly Part B deductible. Obtaining diabetes supplies at little or no cost begins with a visit to your doctor. They will provide a prescription with all necessary information to begin a diabetes supply program using Medicare.
